Betty Blonde Anniversary
By Lynn, on July 29th, 2009
I keep meaning to post this, and it can wait no longer because there’s a T-shirt involved!!! (I know how homeschoolers love T shirts. And a good comic strip.)
Betty Blonde is a comic strip published online by a very cool homeschooling family we know. I’m learning more and more about Betty Blonde as I read the comic strip and keep up with their blog.
I think Betty Blonde is mostly the creation of Kelly Chapman, the daughter, but she gets help from her brother and parents as well, especially her dad. He wrote a computer program especially for her comic strip. How cool is that? 
Anyway it’s Betty Blonde’s one-year anniversary and there’ll be a T-shirt give-away!!! 
This is about more than the T-shirt, however. It encourages me to read the comic strip, laugh a little, and then be reminded what you can do if you have an idea, give it life, and persevere!
I enjoy reading Betty Blonde (you can subscribe here) and keeping up with the Chapman blog. Just wanted to pass these links along so you can enjoy them too!

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884

Thanks a lot for the plug Lynn. Kelly will be excited when she sees this. We are going to do the first drawing this weekend and announce the first winner on August 3 or 4th! We will keep you posted.
I wish I had put this up sooner. Life is just so BUSY! I love the design for the T-shirt. I’m going to have to buy one if I don’t win.
I need to leave Kelly a comment. The comics are really funny this week. Well, they always are, but they have a different flavor this week.

It is way cool that you reviewed our comic strip.
We are hoping that the Princess of the Universe (Michaela is a great name, but hardly anything beats the Princess of the Universe) wins a t-shirt. Thank you SO much!!! I’m very very honored that you like Betty Blonde.
We are very excited to give the away the first t-shirt!
Kelly, I think Betty Blonde and her puffy hair is way cool.
